This is the first page of front advertisements in volume 1 of the 1852 George P. Putnam 16th Edition, version 2. This is the first page of advertisements which is also the Verso of the Front cover. This page of advertisements only features the novel Queechy by Elizabeth Wetherell. The top of the page is titled "THE FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE SEASON:" Underneath that title is slightly illegible due to damage, however, it is discernable that Putnam's name appears in the later part of the title and that the begining of the extended advertisement is marked with the Roman Numeral I.
